Barry, you are definitely NOT the only one liking the British version. The whole reason the states have the show (as with so many other copy cat shows) is because they are such great shows and huge hits in England. British humor is great! You have to have a more tuned in wit to get it sometimes though. I love it!

I think I'm with you. I love the US version, but the UK version is much more sublte. The reason people don't like either version is that you have to pay attention and catch the joke because they are so quick and fleeting, but hilarious. The absence of a laugh track is also a reason it's so good.

You should have linked the scene where Tim and Dawn are asking Gareth about the military, while making him say homosexual things without knowing it:

"So, being a military man, is it possible to give another man a 'death blow?'"
